Another on-topic thread bites the dust.

Oh well, how much can you really say about sandpaper, anyway?

It slices, it dices - it......

If you know what you are doing with it, you can use very very very fine
grit sandpaper to dress gelcoat. Or, with the right kind of sandpaper
and belt sander, sharpen a knife, though I prefer ceramic sharpening sticks.

I found something like a liquid jewelers rouge by 3M that works like a
champ. It's not as harsh as a rubbing compound and you tend to use a
lot of it, but talk about touching up gellcoat - great job.

I'm a wet stone and barber's strap kind of guy when I sharpen my
knifes. And of course, this is evidenced by the number of times my
wife has taken me to the ER for deep cuts from overly sharpened
knifes.

Take care.

Tom,
Well so much for the idea it's a dull knife that gets you. :-) Haven't
tried a strop, I use a wet stone and then a ceramic stick. Shaves.
